A man in his 20s was stabbed and badly injured Friday morning in a lower Manhattan subway station near City Hall, police said.
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition.
The suspect is being sought.
The confrontation happened about 8:35 a.m. on the Brooklyn-bound platform inside the City Hall station for the 4, 5, and 6 trains.
It wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the stabbing.
Southbound 4 and 5 trains are skipping the Brooklyn Bridge stop, while southbound No. 6 trains are turning north at Canal St., the MTA said.
The NYPD, Mayor Adams and MTA Chairman Janno Lieber have touted the drop in subway crime. Through Sunday serious crime in the subway system was down 11% although there has been a 9% increase in felony assaults, to 183 from 168 at the same time last year.
